What is our state of existence?
( This I'd like to know! )
For smiles fade, for seasons change
for people come and go.
Think about our universe.
( a wee pebble in a pond! )
There's an entire space out there
but in seconds it could be gone!
If the sun were to actually
explode within our sky,
it'd take us nearly seven minutes
before we'd know
( then die ) .
